Milkman delivers a 4 pint plastic bottle early mornings.
Twice now in the last fortnight it's been gone by the time we open the door at about 7am.

My first thought was:
Get milkman to leave milk out of sight around the side of the house.
Carefully remove tamperproof top from a milkbottle.
Remove contents. Swill some white paint around inside surface.
Add dog s#1t and top up with liquid.
Refit tamperproof top and hope that said thief gets as far as his morning cuppa.

Following extensive psychological profiling etc, we've concluded that the prime suspect is likely to be someone on way to work on the nearby industrial estate.

Any other suggestions short of semtex and a mercury tilt switch would be welcome.

oo, picolax, that's a good start, but would need milk to stay fresh for a while as we don't know when he'll strike again.

Buy a bottle, leave it a few weeks to go off, then leave it out for the thief.

Needs to be a stealth strike - after all, he does know where you live...

If it's only a couple of times a fortnight, and a four pint bottle, then your retribution is probably going to be inflicted on an entire workplace, not just the guilty individual concerned.

(And the trouble with Picolax, of course, is getting the dose right - a cuppa's worth of milk won't have enough in it, and you can't up the amount in case he drinks the lot!)

Just leave a note where the milk usually is saying "Milk thief, smile - you're on CCTV". When he looks up, jump off the roof ninja style (where obviously you've been camping out for a fortnight waiting for him) and chop both his hands off. I think that would qualify as proportional.

This was the Mrs' word of caution, and why I'm drawn to the picolax idea.

The note (left under the bottle) could also ask him if he enjoyed the milk you pissed in last week.

I'd have taken laxatizing the whole workplace as a plus.

Then not only will the villain be pooped out to the eyeballs. But they'll suffer the wrath of their colleagues.

OP, you must keep this thread alive.

I'm going to settle in for the long run. Although I'm not in the mood for biccys.

It's OK, I looked it up out of interest, and apparently overdosing isn't particularly harmful, as it isn't actually absorbed by the bowel - it just magnifies the 'cleansing' effect.

Bit of dehydration perhaps, so if you leave out a bottle of mineral water and some bog roll alongside the four-pinter then your conscience, and his lower intestine, will be pristinely clear.

LOL at martinhutch!

Problem is if you do something horrible to the milk and he realises this, there is nothing stopping him from doing something horrible back.

Best option is to ask the milkman to put the milk in a different place.

hmm, yep, that's good. I guess I could also inject through the bottle in liquid form, so as not to expose to atmosphere.

Plan coming together nicely I feel.

Now, where to get PIcolax in large quantaties?
Where's DrP when you need him?

If I was being all responsible, I guess I could try a phased approach.

Phase 1. [url= http://www.bitrex.com/en-us/about-bitrex ]Bitrex[/url] sounds promising.

Phase 2. Picolax

Phase 3. ???

Do what a local farm did when someone was taking eggs rather than putting money in the honesty box - fit up a small, motion sensitive camera, get the culprit on film and have them prosecuted for theft.

Or make up a dogshit trip mine.

Milkman delivers a 4 pint plastic bottle early mornings.

But somedays he CBA and so doesn't bother, relying on the fact that you will just pressume it's been stolen therefore saving himself time and money in the process 😉

I went to a have a look round a farmer's barn in a previous job. He'd been having trouble with pikies so rigged up a trip wire connected to an emptied shotgun cartridge.

Unfortunately he declined to disarm it before we went into the barn. Bloody hell, I'd have won the Olympic high jump that morning!

Cheers,
Jamie

Used to happen to us too. No crime in the area and yet our milk deliveries would go missing. Couldn't decide if it was a thief or the milky couldn't be arsed, so cancelled deliveries and bought milk (cheaper) from the shop instead. How we laughed at our revenge.
(Wish I'd thought of the laxative idea to be honest 🙂 )

Loop it through the staple, leave it unlocked & get the milkman to pop it through the handle & snap it shut.

If it happens every time it's delivered I'd just get up early, keep an eye out and confront the person. They'd probably wither with embarassment - that or punch you in the chops. Either way, you'd know who was doing it.
Keep a camera handy and get a nice snap of them too.....

Is this a bit cynical...

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Phenibut-1g-powder-Nootropic-Tranquilizer-Sleep-Aid-/171000244382#vi-content

The benefit is he'll probably forget where he got the milk from and he'll be easy to spot as the chap in the middle of the pavement face-down covered in 'milk'

tie the handle of the milk to a rape alarm (preferably a multi tone one) using fishing wire, and hide sound activated disco lights in all windows of the house.

The neighbours will hate you but I'm pretty sure the theft would stop.

If all else fails go to the shop and buy it yourself, you might save some money in the process and you'll definitely save your milk . . . 😉

Initial thoughts were Piccolax, but you wouldn't get to see the results.
It would be nice to rig something up to scare the crap out of him/her, but you've got to get it on film. That sort of stuff goes viral (or at least would get you £250 on You've Been Framed!).

You don't want to leave yourself open to possible prosecution.

So just make sure you don't leave them alive.

Poacher alarm - basically a blank shotgun cartridge with a firing pin rigged up to a trip wire. You can buy them from most gun shops or from fleabay etc..........

TBH the rape alarm and fishing line sounds like the best option - not harmful but will give the thief a shock and make him reaslise he's been rumbled.

Dig a big pit, fill with sharpened bamboo spikes, cover with palm leaves.

Make sure you let the milkman know about it though!

You could of course just leave a lockable box on the doorstep, screwed down, and leave it open with a note to the milkie to drop in the bottles then lock it.

Do you have neighbours, and do they have milk delivered, too? A clever thief will be alternating his targets to evade capture.

Therefore, whatever you decide to do to taint your milk, you will need to replicate with your neighbours' milk.

If the stolen milk is shared at a workplace, there is the possibility that more people are affected than there are toilets.....
